    I have a static front home page. My blog is located at mysite.com/blog/.

    Is there a conditional that says the following:

    If on /blog/
    Then show this
    Else
    Something else
    End if

    I basically have a different navigation I want to show when only on the blog.

    This will check for /blog/ anywhere in URL, but chances are you will only have /blog/ in URL when at the blog.

    / defines start and end of the pattern to match so the / in blog are escaped \/

    <?php
if(preg_match("/\/blog\//",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])){
   //if /blog/ is anywhere in the URL..
}else{
   //if /blog/ is not in URL
}
?>

    Far better to use WP conditionals:

    <?php if( is_home() ) :?>
[ show this]
<?php else:?>
[ something else]
<?php endif;>

    Esmi, I don’t think that will work since my home page is not my blog but static content for the front of the site.
